    Narcopolis
    Despite the surface sheen, and some enterprising plot twists, it doesn’t entirely convince.

    Whisky Galore!
    It comes across as twee, comfy-cardigan film-making. And, Eddie Izzard’s best efforts notwithstanding, it simply isn’t very funny.

    RED 2
    Like the first one, it's played for laughs in-between bouts of mayhem; most of the gags are off-target, though Mirren's Nancy Mitfordesque assassin gets a pretty good kill ratio.

    Viva
    As a performer, Biller is fearless in her pursuit of perfectly recreated cheesecake, but is a twitchy and not especially charismatic presence. Where her film lets itself down, though, is it's simply not funny.

    Iron Sky
    It's not terrible, by any means: just not nearly as funny or cruel as its killer premise suggests.

    X-Men Origins: Wolverine
    The furrowed-brow seriousness of X-Men is its least attractive quality, but that is the mood that dominates in this film. It's hard to see how anyone other than hardcore fans will find much to entertain them.

    Day of the Falcon
    There's undoubtedly a good film to be made out of the scramble for oil in the Arabian desert in the 1920s – but this, for all its herculean efforts, is not it.

    The Samaritan
    A clotted, knotted, twisty noir that is, unfortunately, short on the required atmosphere.

    Paris-Manhattan
    By itself, this would just be one of those workmanlike relationship films the French turn out by the yard; but all the Allen stuff throws its mediocrity into sharp relief.
